  2. Eight days, minus one sick day already (yesterday). I spent half of the day in the emergency room (food poisoning). Previous was 8 months, 3 years and 10 years. I don't like working.
  3. GREAT book ... and one that I need to re-read.
  4. Hey woman! Congrats again!! Love ya!
  5. I'm at work ... 830pm to 6am. My schedule SUCKS.
  6. OMG ... I just might be the queen lurker ... .01 posts per day.
  7. OMG You just know there will be some wuffo out there that will seriously think they can aim for "the slope of a wave" and survive.
  8. I am such a food SNOB! I really, really need to stop shopping at Whole Foods (Whole Paycheck). It's using up all my jump money.

  16. I can't BELIEVE you are dissing my alma mater. I thought you were my friend!!!!
  17. I jump at Orange, and my military nickname is Magoo. I don't know how that happened. My police chief just started calling me Magoo about 10 years ago, and it stuck. I don't post very often ... I lurk. JENNR8R, Mouth, Jumpjunkie, Weegegirl and Wildcard can vouch for me (I hope)!
  18. So ... as long as I'm awake and at work and bored .... My first cutaway happened on May 13. I had a line over that I could not correct. I spent about 7 or 8 seconds screwing around with it, and went to red at about 3,500. I have a skyhook on my Micron, and I didn't even have a chance to reach for silver. It was already out. Boo yah! Found my main at the top of a tree, found the freebag and skyhook (with cow snot and drool all over it), and stood up my reserve landing back at the dz. It's only been a few weeks, and already I'm having trouble remembering it? Like my brain is blocking it out? Anybody else experience that?
  19. I can't get in either. Booooo!!!!
  20. I get there as often as I can ... which isn't much these days between working at the web site and being on active duty at the same time. Were you there two weekends ago? I had my first cutaway!! Woooooo hooooooo!!
